As the creative core of the band, Sebastian Dorn weaves centuries-old melodies into surprising and fresh arrangements. With Breaking Strings he brings his love for the traditional music of Scotland with his nuanced and exciting fiddling and accordion playing into the arrangements. Also being the intermediary between the band and the audience, Sebastian takes the crowd on a journey through the band’s program with his signature charm and wit, making the evening memorable for more than the music.

Sebastian began his musical education at the music school in Erding, where he learned to play accordion from 1999-2012. He has performed with ensembles in Austria and Hungary and is the bearer of the Bavarian Certificate of Competency of Music. When it comes to Scottish music, Sebastian is well-known as an authority in Germany.

Parallel to his ensemble work, the studied artist has been intensively studying the traditions of Scotland since 2009, teaching violin and accordion privately and in workshops throughout Germany.
